The graphic design scene in UK is closely related to music, and many of the excellent graphic designs have been born as a visual that encompasses music. But what is the graphic design scene in the UK with the decline of record and CD culture?　With such a question, this project started. We picked up 22 designers from the two perspectives of the magnitude of the impact on the design world and the sense of expectation in the future. Past works, latest works, and interactive videos that can only be seen at the venue will be exhibited as installations with the theme of "sound". Looking back on the UK graphic design scene for about 30 years from 1980 to the present, be sure to experience the new movement that is happening now.
